If it feels like you’ve been waiting forever for the next installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise to release, that’s because you have. It will be six years since Volume 2 when Volume 3 finally hits cinemas, in which time James Gunn has been fired and rehired, and an entire Spider-Man trilogy has been released.

Good things come to those who wait however, and if that old adage holds true, then MCU fans should be in for something truly special in May next year.

Though the Guardians technically returned in Thor: Love and Thunder, most of them said or did so little that there wasn’t actually much point to them being there. Volume 3 is their true return - after the currently mysterious Holiday Special of course - but as with the previous two Guardians movies, you know it will be full of tears of both joy and utter devastation.

Arguably the most exciting aspect of this threequel is the long overdue MCU introduction of Adam Warlock, who if done right could be a game-changer in the franchise. Still, the fact that the team is coming back to complete what could be the franchise’s best-ever trilogy is more than exciting enough on its own.
